Delta Air Lines Inc. will resume serving beer and wine in premium cabins on longer domestic flights starting July 2, after suspending the service in March to reduce contact points that could spread the new coronavirus.

The beverages will be offered in cans and single-serve bottles on flights of more than 500 miles, Delta said in a statementBloomberg Terminal Tuesday. The carrier said it elected to bring back the complimentary service -- its first food and beverage options to be reintroduced -- based on passenger requests and after consulting health professionals.
